Not just a zombie flick...

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2010)

28 days later is a sci-fi horror film directed by Danny Boyle and produced by Andrew MacDonald. I did not see it when it came out because i was not that much into horror at that time. I saw it for the first time a few years ago and watched it again just before writing this review.
This is one of my top 100 favorite movies of all time for sure. Although the actors are not that known they do an excellent job. The action is tense and will keep you at the edge of your seat. The plot is well structured and has no gaps or what so ever.
What makes this film so unique is that it introduces us a new "zombie race". These "infected people" don't resemble at all the classical Romero style of zombies. The infected people can run very fast and be killed more easily. They also need to remain in a dark place since they cannot stand sunlight.
This movie is also one of the only horror movies that try to send a message to the audience. In this case we are warned that infections and viruses are not taken too seriously and that they can develop into something similar to what's shown in the film: spreading fast and killing people.
Overall, one of the best 21th century horror films. I recommend this film to zombie fans since it has got loads of them and also horror fans that are looking for a modern classic.
9/10
